welp, it's official. madden season 12 will be on ps3. what does this mean? The following:
1. you will need a ps3 to participate
here are some other items you will need to... "know"... about:
1. sim league. play straight up. there is no need to abuse the AI or any exploits that might pop up. we don't know what these exploits are this year. they seem to have eliminated last years problems (through audibles, line shifts, man locks, etc), but we can't know for certain what new problems will arise.
2. be courteous but also understand that there will be bitching. you are going to be complained at by people when you beat them. in most cases, this isn't directed at you personally but rather the losing person is frustrated and sees that you played dirty. we all know what playing sim ball is and playing dirty is. someone complaining that you caught a TE post corner route on the final drive? that isn't dirty. someone complaining that you used a d-line glitch to get all your sacks? that is dirty. lets keep it clean but understand that sometimes people need to vent.
3. you are expected to be active in the league and in the thread! you also must have AIM for communication. this is even MORE important for our ps3 league considering the fact that it is harder to communicate on the ps3 over 360 (where you can see everyone online and shoot them a quick IM immediately). some people maybe against AIM, but it's for the good of the league!
4. i'm not sure what the schedule will look like at this point. first off i don't know how many people we will have. secondly i don't know how EA is going to handle the scheduling in their online leagues. these are questions that can only be answered once we have the game in hand and see for ourselves how the online system will work.
5. speaking off, for the first time since madden 2005 we have supported online leagues! no more entering your own stats! yes!
6. the league can hold a maximum of 32 people. if we have more than 32 people, the people who have played in past leagues and have been reliable will get into the league. if we have a spot left and everyone who wants in is new member then they will play for that spot.
7. people who have been in the league for a long period are getting their teams. for instance, wellington gets the giants, malley gets the chiefs, rors gets the raiders, DM gets the bucs. that's just the way it is and the way it has to be. for season 13 we can mixup teams, but season 12 will be by the books god dammit!
8. season 13 team selection will be on draft basis. i.e. the person with the worst record will have first pick of teams for season 13.
9. there will be between a 3 and 5 day limit to play each week, i haven't decided yet. we'll put it to a vote or something.
anyhow, post if you are interested. i'm going to post the names that i remember off the top of my head and the team they'll get. if you are a vet and i forgot you im sorry. if you are a vet and i included you but you aren't going to be playing on ps3 just post so i can remove.
